The first match to change is Arsenal’s trip to Anfield to play Liverpool, which has been moved to Sunday, April 9th, with a 4:30 pm kickoff. The match will be shown live on Sky Sports.

If Liverpool are scheduled to play in the Champions League the following Tuesday, this fixture is subject to move to Saturday, April 8th, at 5:30pm.

The following week sees Arsenal head across the capital to take on West Ham United, and that game has also been switched to a Sunday, with the 2pm kick-off shown live on Sky Sports.

After the away match at West Ham, Arsenal will return to Emirates Stadium to play against Southampton on Friday, April 21st, which will be broadcasted live on Sky Sports at 8pm.

However, if Arsenal progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League, or Southampton make it to the FA Cup semi-final, this match will be moved to Sunday, April 23rd at 7pm.

BT Sport have chosen to broadcast Arsenal’s match against Manchester City on Wednesday, April 26th, but the match will remain on its original date and kick-off time of 8pm.

Three days later, Arsenal will host Chelsea, which has been rescheduled to start at 5.30pm to allow for coverage by Sky Sports.

On the final day of the Premier League season, Sunday, May 28th, all games have been moved to 4.30pm kick-offs, meaning Arsenal’s game with Wolves will move 30 minutes from its original start time of 4pm.
